Summary: "Addressing the need for a synoptic study of the diverse reception that Stoicism has received in German philosophy, this volume assesses how modern German philosophers have incorporated ancient resources in the context of their philosophy. Chapters in this volume are devoted to philosophical giants such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Peter Sloterdijk; amongst the Stoics, focus is on texts by Seneca and Epictetus, as well as others neglected by non-specialists. This book brings ancient texts into new dialogues with up-to-date scholarship, facilitating increased understanding, critical evaluation, and creative innovation within the continental response to Stoicism"-- Provided by publisher
